That’s a lot of words for “I suck at my job”

Yeah there's no way it's worth it for an obituary. You need it out in good time, so you can't have a delay longer than a few days. But it's definitely possible to be knocked out (or in a no-signal zone) for a few days and survive.

Could you reduce the BW requirement of the hash table by using an atomic increment instruction instead of read-modify-write ? It still performs a read modify write, but further down in the hierarchy, where more parallelism is available.

x86 hasn't been CISC in 3 decades anywhere but in the frontend. An architecture doesn't consume power, a design does. I'm all for shitting on intel, but getting the facts right wouldn't hurt.

Wait until you hear about 8 bit systems

No one dies when your unit test fails. Different stakes, different practices, what are all the Tesla apologists smoking here?

A good subtitle isn't a perfect copy of what was said.

I see a lot of love for Komoot but for me that died when their "top 10 ride in <region>" had a bunch of auto-generated routes linking points of interests, that tried to take me through horrible paths or 4 lane roads.

Yeah author congratulating themselves at the end because their note app is only using hundreds of millions of cycles every seconds, to do essentially nothing...

A shame the ruling party is indistinguishible from the Tory they were voted in to replace.

I remember doing it on a thinkpad. I didn't break any cables, I didn't need a guide, and it got significantly quieter afterwards. Macbooks are pretty, they've got a great CPU, but the repairability is just rubbish

That looks cool. I do like to see reactions to my messages, but other than that it sounds great

Slack is a constant garbage fire where clearly all the devs have a fast desktop and don’t care about performance or battery use in the slightest. I wish my org would move away from this junk.

In my line of work a bug could cost multiple millions. I do read them. I write long ones. I would love if my colleagues started writing longer ones too.

Shouldn’t that be the commit message ? Or is the goal to also link forward in time, such as “we realised this commit introduced bug #123” ?

This is really fun. Is there anything stopping rustc from performing the transmute trick ?

Edit: If I had read the next paragraph, I'd have learn about [1] before commenting

"Having a dumb firewall can slow down your connections"

Vibe coding a plugin to increase security, compared to trusted, open-source code? The mind boggles.

Curation is still around, it’s just a bit less easy to get. The local venues are filling that role now. Take a listen on the “what’s on” page.

I do for the most sensitive path of the design, but only because it's needed. I don't want to have to look at it for day-to-day debugging, where it's just a distraction.

If the output SystemVerilog is unreadable I'm unlikely to use this. SV is still the lingua franca for physical tools. I'm not debugging timing on something that looks like this:

    localparam[14:0] _e_953 = 0;
    localparam[14:0] _e_958 = 1;
    assign _e_956 = \count  + _e_958;
    assign _e_955 = _e_956[14:0];
    assign _e_948 = _e_949 ? _e_953 : _e_955;

An industry of parasites, extracting money from people already down on their luck. Rats.

Didn't expect to see Thor mentioned so much in a comment about blood donations

I make CPUs for a living. I'm happy these people exists, we'll always need faster CPUs.

TIL that `head -5` is equivalent to `head -n 5`, and that's not in the manual

Yeah that was my point, you can get rid of a significant portion of requests at the edge with a bloom filter, and there's no reason you have to build the bloom filter locally as requests come in. Instead, it can be created ahead of time, when the dataset is updated.

I must be missing something. You have 2MB of data for "is my 6 character SHA1 prefix in any breach". Why can't you distribute that to every edge nodes ?

Fun. You can tell it's receiving some love right now

The arch linux install has a little wrapper around chroot, used to configure the installed system without booting it.

More likely the 110V means you need twice as much copper
